People always think that librarians are nice, older ladies who just love books and believe in the power of literature and want to spend their lives sharing the magic of reading with others.

In my experience, this is dead wrong. Most of the ones I've encountered in the Fairfax Public Library system are just plain mean and seem to hate each and every member of the human race. I'm sure there are nice ones, but they must hide them in the back shelving books or something.Yes, I wrote this from a public library internet terminal. I am such a rebel.
